| Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again In my opinion, that AI Modulus is a bit overpriced, as it does not include a built-in phono stage. As such, it would not even fulfill your needs. The one worth having would be the 3A version with a phono stage designed by John Curl (if memory ser... | |
| Is my anti-skating too strong. This is a complex topic, whether you like it or not. It seems that when I focus on one aspect, you assail me for not focusing on another aspect. So this is useless. I did NOT ever say the "spindle" caused the skating force, for god's sake. Whe... | |
| Is my anti-skating too strong. Justme, what I objected to in MC’s generalization was his saying “no overhang, no skating force”. I believe that is a direct quote from his post. The fact is that any pivoted tonearm, whether it overhangs the spindle or not will generate a skating... | |
| Is my anti-skating too strong. Clear thinker, I do apologize for being so pedantic, but your point #1 is blatantly incorrect. In fact all of our pivoted tonearms mounted so the stylus overhangs the spindle WILL generate a skating force even at the two null points, because of he... | |
| Which VTF Scale are you using? In my opinion, in this modern era , it is foolish to use a Shure stylus force gauge, when for the same cost or maybe a little bit more one can have a digital scale. Iused the Shure scale for 35 years, so I certainly am not making fun of anyone who... | |
| Wally Tools to Offer a New Service. Just to make this terminology a bit more complex, I was once informed that the azimuth adjustment on a triplanar tonearm is flawed, because as you alter azimuth you are also altering zenith. So, I thought about how the triplanar azimuth adjustment... | |
| Is my anti-skating too strong. Stylus overhang, along with headshell offset angle, was posited (by Baewald and Lofgren back in the early 40s, probably) in order to make it possible for there to be two null points on the playing surface of an LP. "No overhang, no skating" is fl... | |
| Is my anti-skating too strong. MC, Yes, if you can draw a straight line from stylus tip, through the cantilever, that intersects the pivot point, then you have zero skating force. And to Larry, yes the reason conventional pivoted tonearms that are mounted so the stylus overhan... | |
| Is my anti-skating too strong. Dear Mijo, The friction force is independent of surface area. The formula is f = uN, where f is the friction force, u (Greek letter "mu") is the coefficient of friction between the two bodies in contact and varies according to the materials of wh... | |
| Best cost no object tube phono realworld, I am an admirer of Hagerman, have long been interested in his Trumpet phono stage, yet I never heard of the Violin phono stage. You imply it is no longer available. When was it made, during what period of time? Have you got a schemat... | |
| Distortion/too much bass from turntable Or massive amounts of rumble? | |
| Is my anti-skating too strong. MC, do you read what you write? "OMG sorry but it has nothing to do with the angle of the cantilever. The skating force that pulls the arm towards the center is a result of not being tangential. It has nothing to do with the offset angle of the ... | |
| Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again My statement stands as written. Why the difference between the two countries is probably explained in your post. I have had some bad experiences with merchandise coming from Canada into the US. In one case, my turntable was delivered to someone in... | |
| Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again Elliot, I'm sure you'll be fine. But the argument regarding size puzzles me. It would seem that those domestic vintage pieces on the eBay page you cited would be about the same size as the unit you are buying. Just saying. A 500C chassis is lar... | |
| Is my anti-skating too strong. MC's thoughts are a minor consideration in thinking about the magnitude of the skating force. The most important cause of the skating force (after friction) is the tracking angle error, which is varying in terms of degrees of angle, all across th... |
